Fear of Heights & the Grand Canyon Don’t Always Mix

Today was our trip to the Grand Canyon. WOW! It was impressive. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 Mislanskys have some level of fear regarding heights or falling. We still made the most of the day. We spent a lot of time walking along the rim, taking photos and being amazed. Joe & I did a short hike down into the canyon, but eventually my fear of heights and falling got the best of me and we had to come up. We hiked about 2/3 a mile and descended about 600 feet into the canyon. It was a steep hike and I was huffing and puffing by the end of it. We also ate a couple good meals at the lodges. We didn’t have to do any driving because of the great bus system in the national park so it was nice to not be behind the wheel for a day. And we ended up by watching a sunset. Overall, it was another great day. Tomorrow we are off to Hoover Dam and Las Vegas.
